Problem Statement
What are some best practices when writing Kubernetes Deployment YAML manifests?
Explanation
Some best practices include: keep manifests version-controlled, avoid embedding secrets directly in YAML, use clear labels and annotations, keep resource requests and limits defined, break down large manifests into logical units, tag images with immutable versions, reuse templates with Kustomize or Helm, and validate schema with tools like kube-lint. These practices help maintain reliability, clarity and ease of maintenance.
